L’shana Tovah! Don’t let me find out that you’re accessing my chaRTroom during tonight’s Rosh Hashana service. I’m not saying don’t do it. But don’t let me find out…
The Universe, week of Sep 14 2015… Statii quo.
[Note: I publish “The Universe” every weekend, updating my support and resistance calculations for Marijuana sector stocks. It is not a projection, but a handy reference… Non-Marijuana stocks are covered elsewhere during the week.]
What we refer to as the cannabis sector is probably too diverse to qualify as that. Perhaps each of its components offers a way to participate in its gradual legalization, medcinalization and/or acceptance. The influences on each segment can be very different.
Regardless, none of the segments registered any meaningful change last week. Usually, there is some standout, whether for better or for worse. But the ongoing declines have slowed, and the rallies have all but halted. That’s not in itself a buy signal or a sell signal. In either case, the next issue or segment to start moving will be that much more obvious.

Saturday Review’s recording (for 9/12/15) … Stability is not strength.
Another week gone by without resuming the decline. Intraday swings are narrowing, albeit still well beyond the norm. Price still hovering at the upper-end of the crash’s reaction. So, the bear market is done? Probably not, and there are two paths to resuming it. Meanwhile, this week offers several catalysts to keep volatility alive. Details were discussed during this weekend’s Saturday Review, linked below.
The following stock requests were reviewed in this order:
BABA, GMCR, YHOO, NFLX, AMZN, AAPL, BT, CSCO, GLUU, MU

Login links to Saturday Review
Be sure to join us at either link below by 9:30am ET for this weekend’s Saturday Review.
For all of its gyrations, last week’s range developed entirely within the prior week’s range. So, what information could it provide? Plenty, plus that only puts the market closer to resolving its range. We’ll discuss the bigger picture, and then review any stock charts that you request.
Morning Bias
| MON morning signal (triggered at 10:15 ET) | SPX | ES |
| Bias-up: above | 1964.25 | 1953.50 |
| …would target | 1971.00 | 1960.50 |
| Bias-down: under | 1953.00 | 1942.50 |
| …would target | 1947.50 | 1936.75 |
| Signal status: NO-BIAS, TESTED BIAS-DOWN SIGNAL | FAQ | |
| INTRO VIDEOS #1 and #2 | ||
1. At 10:15, trading above the bias-up signal or under the bias-down signal would put into play a test of its bias-up or bias-down target.
2. Not triggering either bias signal at 10:15 would be “no-bias,” and the bias signals should define the bias environment’s range.
— A test of the opposite bias signal would be targeted if one bias signal was tested before triggering no-bias.
3. Touching the bias signal within 3 minutes either way of 10:15 would invoke a grace period through 10:30 to trigger a late signal.
— “Late” signals don’t require testing the opposite bias signal, but it’s still likely.
4. Still testing the bias signal at 10:30 after invoking the grace period would trigger “noN-bias,” with no bias influence.
